Wishful thinking but only a pipe dream. Hobbyists have been searching for many years for other types of lighting that can grow corals. None have been successful. Only the Solaris LED fixtures had any success and they are super expensive. Many people have tried plant lights, Photography lighting, Household lighting, Even streetlights with no success!
All you will succeed in doing is losing a lot of money and killing a lot of animals. The words Reef & Cheap do not fit in the same sentence! If you want a successful reef, spend the money on the right equipment or just enjoy looking at tanks that belong to others than can afford to do it the right way.
